Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]
We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.
Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%
Simply said, management is by far the most crucial aspect for astute investors. VCs invest mostly in the management team's capacity to carry out the company plan. You need a solid understanding of your market, a tested business plan, and a well-thought-out strategy for approaching venture investors if you want to distinguish out from other businesses.
In addition to this, VCs value intellectual honesty and self-awareness in founders. He has discovered from his experience as an investor that "those who are very introspective, recognize their strengths and flaws" have a higher likelihood of founding and eventually developing a successful firm.

Answer:
the firm's cost of equity is 17.808%
Explanation:
A firm's cost of equity is the return expected by holders of Common Stock.
The Data available allows us to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to determine the cost of Equity.
Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Company`s Beta × Expected Return on Market Portfolio
= 2.8%+1.34×11.2%
= 17.808%
